Brad,Are all the bridges open? Where did you fish and how did you do? I am anxious to get up there with my boy but don't want to drive 90 minutes until there is somewhere to fish. I have had good luck at the bridges early, before chanel A opens up.Any input would be appreciated.Thanks,Tully

Ice fishing has finally came to an end and now its time to get ready for open water. Recent rains have all the coulees and channels running and Northerns are biting at each and everyone. The best luck seems to be at Pelican Lake and the bridge at Churches Ferry. Most anglers are having the best luck on Jigs and twister tails or just the plain old Daredevil. Almost every color has been producing. I have talked to many people that have been up there and have caught 10-15 pike and hour. Most fish have been between 2-5pds but bigger fish are starting to show up. It will be at least 2-3 weeks until the ice is off the lake so take advantage of the excellent shore fishing. Good Luck

The "park switch" may be the cause of the parasitic draw on some of the console equipped models,
it's an inexpensive switch that sends a shutdown signal to the BCM. When it goes bad the dash lights do not shut off and it drains the battery.
Fords fix is to replace the whole shifter assembly at around $650.00, they do not sell just the switch.
Here is the replacement switch with an more detailed explanation of why it happens.

After starting out the winter with a lack of snow February is making up for it. Earlier in the week the southern half of the state received 4 to 6 inches of snow and in the last couple of days the north and northwest received from 4 to 8 inches of snow.Snowmobile trails are now open in most, but not all, counties across the state with conditions rated as good or excellent in many counties on the Wisconsin Department of Tourism's Snow Conditions Report (exit DNR). Many state properties were regrooming cross-country ski trails and ski trail conditions ranged from good to excellent. Some freezing rain fell in the south after the snow, resulting in some icy conditions in some locations. Temperatures are expected to warm this weekend, especially in the south where more rain is also in the forecast, while the north is expected to get more snow.With all the recent snow, conditions should be excellent for the American Birkebeiner Ski Race this weekend in the Hayward-Cable area. It is the largest ski race in North America and attracts thousands of skiers from all over the country and world -- skiers from 49 states and 36 countries participated in 2018 -- and draws tens of thousands of spectators to the area.

......The 6 packages from the first round are long-gone, so I am brining up another batch. Ended up buying an entire case of butts (@ $1.18 per #) from Sams. I am going to do 3 butts - one with High Mtn buckboard seasoning and two with another dry brine consisting of Tenderquick, brown sugar, garlic salt, and black pepper. I always like getting to the raw ingredients of spices versus relying on someones "magic rub". If it goes badly I will revert back to the HM cure. As an added note, I also picked up a $20 loin that I put HM cure on to experiment with some Canadian bacon.... Will check back in 10 days or so!
